Crews begin removing Trump’s name from Kennedy Center after missing Friday night deadline
Story by Devan Cole, Betsy Klein, CNNWorkers began removing President Donald Trump’s name from an exterior wall of the Kennedy Center early Saturday morning, video from a CNN crew showed.
It comes after the historic performing arts venue missed a deadline to comply with a federal judge’s ruling to remove Trump’s name from the building and asked for for additional time to carry out the directive.
Justice department attorneys representing the center said late Friday that while work was ongoing, thunderstorms in the Washington area caused delays. They said crews expected to fully remove Trump’s name “in the early hours” of Saturday.
US District Judge Casey Cooper had set a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Friday for the center to certify compliance with his order. The judge hasn’t yet responded to the center’s request for additional time to say that it has carried out his demand.

BREAKING: Federal judge ORDERS Trump to restore slavery and climate exhibits to national parks by July 4th, "to properly honor" America's 250th birthday
A federal judge just delivered the most poetic legal smackdown of the Trump era.
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley ruled Friday that the Trump administration MUST reinstall the exhibits and signs about slavery, climate change, and other "inconvenient" history that it stripped from national parks and monuments across the country — and she gave them 21 days to do it.
That deadline lands right at America's 250th anniversary. And Judge Kelley made the symbolism EXPLICIT, ordering the signs restored "by the 250th anniversary to properly honor the remarkable achievements of the United States."
Translation: you don't honor America by ERASING its history. You honor it by telling the TRUTH.
The ruling is a devastating blow to Trump's March 2025 executive order targeting what he called a "revisionist movement" portraying America as "inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed." Under that order, the Interior Department went on a censorship rampage — ripping out exhibits about slavery, scrubbing references to climate change, and sanitizing more than 430 national park sites of anything that didn't match Trump's "preferred narrative."
Judge Kelley called it EXACTLY what it is. Removing these signs, she wrote, not only undermines "the integrity of the National Parks; it sets a dangerous precedent of CENSORSHIP and SANITIZATION."
The lawsuit was brought by the National Parks Conservation Association, the American Association for State and Local History, and groups representing park conservationists, historians, and scientists — who accused the administration of waging a "sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science."
Sound familiar? It should. This is the SAME administration that argued in court it has the right to chisel the names of nine enslaved people off a stone monument at George Washington's Philadelphia residence. The same administration that removed slavery displays from the President's House memorial — prompting another federal judge to quote George Orwell's 1984 while condemning the government for "dismantling objective historical truths."
TWO federal judges. TWO Orwell-worthy rulings. ONE administration obsessed with erasing the parts of American history that make Donald Trump uncomfortable.
Here's the thing about history: it happened. Slavery happened. Climate change is happening. No executive order, no censorship campaign, no sanitized placard can change that. The enslaved people who built this country existed. Their stories matter. And now, thanks to Judge Kelley, those stories are going BACK on display where they belong — just in time for the nation's birthday.
America's 250th anniversary should celebrate how far we've come. And you can't measure how far we've come if you erase where we started.
The truth will be restored. The censors have LOST in court again.

Re 3,385, 3,386
And it makes for a better spectator sport than the World Cup
How bad do you have to be to have a crowd want to watch your name get taken OFF of a building?
